[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Classroom aids are basically administrative, giving teacher more time to teach. They handle non-teaching tasks for teachers like photocopying, cutting starts out, stuffing folders, walking kids to resources classes, and stuff a parent volunteer in the classroom could do, etc. They are not teachers. They don't do professional development. They do not work the same hours as teachers."

WTF is wrong with you? That is 100% false. No, they are not "aides," and yes, they do teach the students.[/quote]

Nothing is wrong with me. This is the description of the PTA aids at our school. If they act as teachers at yours, then you do have a problem. I hope you are complying with the collective bargaining agreement![/quote]

NP-if your PTA teachers or aids aren't abiding by the CBA, these could be at risk all over the city. As you can see from the other thread the lack of a contract between WTU and DCPS is coming to a head.

It is NOT ok for PTAs to pay for extra people to teach kids during school hours. It just isn't. [/quote]
